One architecture for cloud and private infrastructure
Connecting public cloud and customer-owned infrastructure takes work across Kubernetes, Linux, networks, and virtualization. DJ2S handles architecture, deployment, upgrades, security, and automation across that stack. General IT support sits outside the scope, and hardware and cloud accounts stay in your name.
A paid diagnostic defines the architecture and prices the work. A fixed-scope build can follow, with recurring platform work covered by reserved engineering hours under a capped retainer.
Where your workloads can run
Keep AWS as your primary environment and add private hardware for stable, sensitive, storage-heavy, or specialized workloads. This can suit cloud-first software companies.
Run core workloads on Proxmox or OpenNebula and use AWS for selected managed services, backup targets, and external services. This can fit existing hardware or data-center commitments.
Run primary workloads on your hardware in colocation. Use AWS for recovery capacity, backup copies, and selected service dependencies when you need recovery in another location.
Use a standard private-cloud and network design across customer sites. This suits software vendors whose products need to run on-premises or in hybrid environments.
Build dedicated compute with segmented networks, hardened hosts, access controls, backups, and evidence. Compliance-specific requirements for federal, public-safety, healthcare, or contractual work need their own scope.
The engineering work
- AWS and Amazon EKS: design cloud architecture, managed services, Kubernetes, identity, and the networks that connect to your private infrastructure.
- Linux and UNIX: administer, harden, troubleshoot, and automate hosts on infrastructure you own. Windows help-desk support is outside the service.
- Terraform and Ansible: define infrastructure in code and document repeatable changes and recovery procedures.
- Security and compliance experience: apply host hardening, access controls, logging, change records, and evidence practices from DJ2S regulated-cloud work.
Who we work with
- Cloud-first teams: an existing AWS environment needs private hardware for stable or sensitive workloads.
- Software vendors: cloud, colocation, and customer-site deployments need a repeatable platform baseline.
- Small and midsize companies: an infrastructure team needs engineering capacity but cannot justify several full-time hires.
- Regulated customers: contracts require dedicated infrastructure. Compliance-specific work falls under the applicable regulated-cloud package.
The infrastructure stays in your name
Customer-owned hardware in colocation or at a customer site is the preferred model, with cloud accounts and licenses held by the same organization. DJ2S designs and operates the platform under a retainer with defined responsibilities and hours.
DJ2 Services (DJ2S) builds, secures, and operates hybrid infrastructure across AWS, colocation, private compute, and Kubernetes. Hardware and cloud accounts remain customer-owned.
